It's not an excuse, it's the reality of what has happened in the whole, it's not a coincidence, from McKinnon left, we won 7 and drew 1 with the team mostly picking itself, we'd found our best team and system and won games comfortable against St Mirren,Falkirk,Livi, Morton abd Dunfermline

Then we lose two of our best players to season ending injuries which demoralised everyone, teammates included at a terrible time, we also have intermittent injuries in midfield,full back and centre back so not only do we lose the two most important players in the run of form, we can't even field a consistent side in they'd absence including our best defence

Instead of strengthening in January, we had to do a more patchwork job, were never going to replace the quality of Fyvie and Fraser (both prem quality easily) at such short notice

So new players come in and have to get upto speed in a team that's feeling demoralised and fans the same after recent years and full of injuries so they aren't coming into a stable side, St Mirren gain confidence from this knowing we are in a weakened state (Jack Ross isn't stupid and will have known we were significantly weakened from the team that beat them at Tannadice), less pressure on them

However on the upside I do think if we get the likes of Scobbie etc back fit, despite the loss to Aberdeen I can see there is something to work with, I'm feeling quietly confident about us beating Livi away next Friday, if so then two important home games to follow in the 7 days after

I honestly wonder about your mental health Raymond.

2 Injuries = justification for shipping 6 to the worst Falkirk side in living memory, getting pumped at home to Morton and generally being utter horse**** in every single game we've played since Christmas???

McKinnon was a complete failure but i'll tell you what, we wouldn't have shipped 9 goals against Falkirk and Morton under him.

Spazlo is a disastrous appointment, that has been abundantly clear for weeks.
